CODE OF VIRGINIA

JUDICIAL REVIEW (§ 10.1-1457)

A. Except as provided in subsection B, any person aggrieved by a final decision
of the Board or Director under this chapter shall be entitled to judicial review
thereof in accordance with the Administrative Process Act (§ 2.2-4000 et seq.).

B. Any person who has participated, in person or by the submittal of written
comments, in the public comment process related to a final decision of the Board
or Director under § 10.1-1408.1 or § 10.1-1426 and who has exhausted all
available administrative remedies for review of the Board’s or
Director’s decision, shall be entitled to judicial review thereof in
accordance with the Administrative Process Act (§ 2.2-4000 et seq.) if such
person meets the standard for obtaining judicial review of a case or controversy
pursuant to Article III of the United States Constitution. A person shall be
deemed to meet such standard if (i) such person has suffered an actual or
imminent injury which is an invasion of a legally protected interest and which
is concrete and particularized; (ii) such injury is fairly traceable to the
decision of the Board and not the result of the independent action of some third
party not before the court; and (iii) such injury will likely be redressed by a
favorable decision by the court.
